Push-Push pots.

[Jaicen_solo]

I'm in need of some pots to use in a guitar. I need two push push non latching single pole switches (push to make), and one latching push on, push off switch.
Do they exist, and i so where do I find them!

Do the switches really need to be built into the pots? I know of pots that have push-pull switches...I have a few:

though these don't have the long bushing that's usually desired for mounting in a guitar. I've seen those at guitarelectronics.com and other specialty sites. However, I've not seen any pots with momentary or push-push switches. If you can live with a couple of separate pushbuttons, you might be able to adapt tactile switches and caps:

to your purpose. The switches are available in latching or momentary, and I have snap-on caps in several colors.

The for the input Steve, but I have a very specific need for these pots to double up as switches. I know that I've seen push on push off pots, just not sure where to find them. And I am sort of resigned to either modding one of those, or adding a bit of logic to make push on push off into a pseudo push to make operation.

Not sure where you live but check out the english website Axetec.co.uk - I've literally only just got into stompboxes but I have done a fair bit of guitar tech and rewiring. They sell push-push pots and also have some of the best budget pickups I've ever heard. And yes, they deliver internationally!

Thanks for the heads up, I just bought some from them about five minutes before you posted!

Still going to have to come up with a fix for the momentary action that I'm looking for. Probably going to have to open one up and mod the action.

No probs, glad to have helped. Having re-read your post I understand now that you aren't after the DPDT variety, I hope you manage to get around it without too much trouble
